Turkey 2006: HELPPP
Jun 6, 2006
Above: My itinerary showing an emphatic Help with not one letter P, but three.
So as many of you know, I have been operating under the impression that my trip may very well be cursed.... I know that it's hard to believe, but several things have happened which have led me to this conclusion:
1) The permit got delayed by about a month after a major uprising broke out between the Turkish government and the PKK in the town that I will be calling home for the next month. During the fighting, 40+ Kurds and about a dozen Turkish military were killed.
2) The day, yes the day, I found out that the permit came through - the Istanbul Airport caught on fire! It was contained to the baggage are but it was a huge fire nonetheless.
3) Here is the big one... WHile the other two are pretty weak, this one is undeniably startling.... I finally book my ticket to Turkey and the confirmation code is: HELPPP! Now it’s one thing if the word "help" is somewhere embedded in the code, but no... An emphatic HELP with 3 P's is the confirmation code -- HELPPP....
I'm a little worried...
